Samantha Leal

Sam covers the good life and everything in it — decor, style, drinks, and travel. She has a thing for finding the best deals, especially at flea markets and estate sales, and can haggle her way through a purchase like a pro. She graduated from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, and credits her mom for her love of creating cozy spaces, and her dad for knowing how to patch up drywall. (Both very useful skills.) You can find her at @samanthajoleal all over the internet.
